I'm in the nineth grade and I still haven't started. My mom says its normal but all of my friends have, and all of my friends even in middle school....What's up? is it normal?

Some girls don't even get their periods until they are 16, and your profile says your 14, so you've still got some time! I side with anyone who said that periods suck, 'cause they do! I started mine when I was about 12 or so (I'm 16 now) and THEY SUCK! Who wants to deal with cramps and constant changing of pads/tampons? NOT ME!!!

Thats not a problem....my aunt didn't start until she was 15, my mom on the other hand started when she was 11. But the normal age is about 15....I started when I was 12 And don't feel bad..your VERY lucky. I mean think about it...no swimming, cramps, mood swings, bloating, wanting to eat everything in the house....including just the whole house....and not to mention the mess! (NEVER wear white pants when you do start...wear darker colors and stay away from skirts if you can help it...just a little tip)

I think your fine!! I have only had mine for like two years and it sucks!! trust me, gettin your period is nuttin speical!! my mom didnt get hers till she was almost 18! talk about lucky

It's pretty normal, honey, I had a friend who didn't start until she was 18. I'll be praying for you, I don't know if you have had blood work before but it really isn't that bad, I'm sure their just doulbe checking. 1Pe 5:7 "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.":cheer:

omg...i feel like i've had mine forever...almost 4 years now...as good as chocolate sounds during that time...it seems to make my cramps worse than usual...so i try to cut back on the sugar and drink water and fruit smoothies! but yeah don't worry about it. it's normal...a few of my friends still haven't started and one friend who is a senior just started (she's 18) but whenever you do start, get physically active...it makes the cramps less painful and overall the whole thing isn't as bad as if you sit on your butt all the time!

I didn't read through all the thread so i'm sorry if this has been suggested or not, and I apologize if its been brought up.

No...no one's metioned it....thanks. I got the test results back, everythings normal.....or all the tests that they took are all normal. they still didn't run everything they needed to but i'm just gonna wait. Thanks all!
